かわいいレゴずき (I Love Cute LEGO) has a great roundup of New Year’s best wishes from our LEGO friends over in Japan, starting with one of their own:
Here are a few more of my favorites.

Tigers are, of course, the most awesome animal in the Chinese Zodiac. 2010 looks to be a pretty good year.
Love the composition, photography and sentiment. It’s always nice when photographers and artists like Marco Pece (udronotto) use LEGO in their work.

One of my favorite holiday traditions in the LEGO fan community is MisaQa‘s annual Advent Calendar, taking us day by day from December 1st through Christmas Eve. This year, she’s presenting a new microscale building each day.
Keep an eye on the Flickr photoset or MisaQa’s website, STUD & TUBE.
I’m excited to announce a new online charity event that has just started! The event, called Creations for Charity, sells custom LEGO creations from fan builders to raise money to buy LEGO for underprivileged children. All funds will be used to buy LEGO sets for the charity Toys for Tots. From now until early-December, there will be new creations listed to be auctioned. Come visit the store to see what we have!
If you are interested in contributing a creation, you can read the details here. Happy holidays everyone!
